LOS BICHOS

Remember the 90-year old architect at the ‘Open City’ ? well, he turns out to be one Miguel Eyquem and he produced in 1981 this weird house : THE CASA LOS BICHOS near Santiago in another group of houses inhabited by Artists, intellectuals and scientists. The house suffered from the big earthquake but is now used by an etymologist for keeping specimens of flies ! At any rate it is a continuation of the ‘Open City’ conversation & is a pretty interesting contraption. It is due to be restored, shortly, so the owner says.

…. Then on to the ERAZURIZ WINERY: big, modern grafted on to the old, a chapel-like state-of-the-art extension, and a TRADITIONAL LUNCH,Followed by a visit to an ‘old-school’ winery.
